Sun, 23 May 2010 15:48:00 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=76456#comment-1179844Why would anybody outside of LA or Boston want to see these two teams in the Finals AGAIN. The NBA playoffs are becoming a broken record.

I won’t be watching the Finals this year unless Phoenix pulls off a miracle. How many teams have won the finals the last 30 years? Yeah, I thought so.

Fri, 21 May 2010 14:39:36 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=76456#comment-1178300I love the NBA because the best team usually wins, and the playoffs reveal which team is really championship-caliber. Cavs lost the the Celts? That means the Celtics are better. This is not true in any other sport, where luck comes into play a lot more, or when a great team has one bad game and is out (e.g., P.F.C. Barcelona at the Champions League).
There are exceptions, but by and large the NBA playoffs do the best job of presenting greatness.
Thus, love them or hate them, the Lakers win this year. Again.
For those counting, that would be 5 rings and 7 Finals appearances for Kobe. And he’s only 32. MJ and Shaq were winning titles in their late 30’s. How many rings for Kobe? 8? 9?

Hell, Howard rebounded from a subpar game with a 30 and 8 game, he still gets more criticism than Nash who has yet to crack 20 points, or hit a three.
Amazing.

I think LA is has made a slightly better upgrade in talent and cohesiveness than Boston has, but I say the outcome is the same. If Bynum were 100% I’d give the edge to the Lakers. LA is rolling, but the Cavs were rolling. The Magic were rolling.

We can see the lakers have gotten better from 2008, everyone on that team. We can see Boston may have gotten a step slower (Rondo not included) but they still have their MOJO. Orlando thought it would cake walk over Boston, bad mistake! I’m a firm believer in the best team wins the championship, now if that is bad for any sport, I’m not sure what we’re doing watching.

L.A. has home court , has no injuries this time, and kobe is probably going to have a little extra motivation from those embarassing memories. Boston 3peat if garnett had been healthy last year??? bullsh*t!!!! I say L.A. would be going for the 3peat if Bynum and Ariza had been healthy in the 08 finals

Only new teams are interesting? I really dont understand the logic here. Did the 80’s NBA get less exciting because the Lakers and Celtics kept playing each other-NO. It got more exciting because a true rivalry was brewing. It’s going to be the best finals in twenty years, too bad youre gonna miss it.

5 teams have won 26 of the past 30 Championships, soon to be 27 of 31. As a fan in another country with no geographical allegiance to any one team, the NBA’s getting pretty freaking boring come Finals time.

Fri, 21 May 2010 01:50:42 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=76456#comment-1177951Allen, Honestly I thought KG vs Pau was a wash offensively, and remember that exact term used to describe them on the telecast. But I can’t argue with u about Pau, he Played Amare like D’ the entire time, it was fugly. I just can’t give KG that much credit, when he didn’t have that much better of a series himself. He didn’t live up to the Hype…the whole leader of the team, setting the tone n’ what not. I thought he performed better in his Gatorade commercial vs kareem. But ur prolly a lil closer to the truth on that one. But if u watch Pau play every game like I do then ul know his go to move is back down, shake spin right or left hook 3 to 4 ft from the rim. Perk was the guy keepin that from happening. Not $kinny a$$ KG. Wich was My main point, that it’s a huge advantage to have a true center versus finesse forwards.

This is why I think Lakers need to f*****ing play and play hard if they want to beat Boston. For Players like Sasha, Farmar, Odom, Brown, players that like to relax or panic when the time comes.

Thu, 20 May 2010 22:20:52 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=76456#comment-1177845I’m calling the Nets in 4. MP got the bragging rights, they had the best record. But, both teams are firing on all cylinders at the right time. The question is, who is going to be more efficient? Boston’s defense is overall better and consistent, but LA can put up more points and has options with everyone on the court. Bynum and Pau got the post, Ron from deep, Fish from deep and midrange and Kobe all over. Then again the C’s defense is crazy physical. I think its redemption time, and honestly I think the extra 2 years will mean that Boston may not be able to keep this up for the entire series given it could go to 7.

Thu, 20 May 2010 22:07:37 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=76456#comment-1177838Nah NegativeKreep, check the tapes.
Garnett took Pau’s manhood on both ends.
I don’t care about the stats, watch the tapes. Pau didn’t want it with Garnett and had more shrinkage than George Constanza.
Now Perkins was nice, but for most of the series they let him guard Odom. That’s why I said Odom needs redemption.
Big changes this time around
1. Rondo is a beast now. So, can Kobe contain him like he did last time and rest on defense?
2. Gasol appears to have grown a pair. Is this a mirage or the real deal?
3. Can Paul Pierce still give Artest the business? Artest is slower than his prime, but so is Pierce. Great matchup.
4. If the Lakers can’t hide Kobe on Rondo, is he going to tire himself out chasing Ray Allen around? Jordan had that problem guarding Reggie at times.
5. Is Bynum going to give Perkins series problems?
6. Which bench is better?
7. Which style do the refs favor?

Thu, 20 May 2010 21:51:19 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=76456#comment-1177824@Jackie Moon – yeah obviously winning is a motivation, that’s stating the obvious lol… but things like revenge and all give you that extra motivation, it’s more fuel to the fire.. it’s what MJ used to do and what Kobe’s doing now.

it’s in the nature of all human beings, that’s how we are as people.. in order for us to do something we need motivation and the more motivation the more determined we are.. everything is fueled by something and the more you have of it the bigger the fire will be

The reason why people are motivated to win is because they don’t want to lose, that’s fuel to the fire.. then you look at the team you’re playing, oh it’s the team that beat you and humiliated you 2 years ago, that’s more fuel to the fire.. then you look at how Celtics fans were saying if the C’s were healthy last year they be going for a three-peat right now that’s more fuel to the fire

get out of here with the trying to be politicaly correct “oh winning should be enough motivation itself” BS

Thu, 20 May 2010 21:42:35 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=76456#comment-1177815This finals will be different from 08, Jackie covered some of the main reasons. Like the reversal of The home court advantage, but seriously I don’t understand how everyone forgets that LA didn’t have a center, while Boston had the physical advantage with not only KP but PJ Brown, Powe and how big was posey’s help d on Kobe? U can throw all that out the window. Now add the addition of Artest on D against Pdouble, someone said KG dominated pau…ERR! It was Perkins that enforced the paint! Even if Bynum doesn’t score much, his body alone will make a difference against Perk. Boston will no doubt set the defensive tempo. But make no mistake these two teams are matched up more evenly this time, I don’t c Boston forcing thier will the same way they did in 08′ Boston’s gonna need all the offense they can get I think they’re gonna miss House. Lakers in 7.

Thu, 20 May 2010 20:26:26 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=76456#comment-1177753I’m so conflicted. I respect the Lakers execution and teamwork, but I can’t stand Laker fans. I love Boston’s dirt-dog gritty defense and the way Rondo has dismissed all his doubters, but the way KG, Baby, and a few other Celtics handle themselves makes me want to turn my TV off when they’re playing sometimes. I would have loved to have seen Magic and Suns in the finals. Celtics/Lakers is like watching the two biggest a&&holes on the block beat each other up, but it’s such a good fight you have to watch. I guess I’m rooting for the old weathered Celtics, for Ray Allen more than anyone else. Yes, Allenp the two teams who make it to the finals are the most deserving, but the fans of other franchises deserve better.

Many interesting subplots: Imo Pierce will be living at the line going against Artest, the KG-Pau match-up, Bynum’s bum knee, will Kobe be playing mediocore like in ’08?, will LA’s weak bench hurt them?, will C’s miss Posey/Sam-I-Am too much?, Let’s get it on – love the prospect of a rematch.

Thu, 20 May 2010 16:56:27 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=76456#comment-1177582Many complaint about repetitiveness!! If you are a fan a basketball, you want to see one of the best players in Kobe vs 3 stars on the other team, defense, good passing and nastyness. If that doesn’t do it for you, then hope you recorded Atlanta vs Magic…to enjoy for years to come….Weak a****s teams.
The best of the best against eachother. I was at the laker game and I wasn’t one chanting “We want Boston”.
To be honest, Lakers playing Suns affects them. Weak kid fighing when the bigger kid awaits outside school.
If lakers pull it vs Boston, Kobe will gain my full respect next to Jordan.

The playoffs have shown these are the two best teams, easily. They both run beautiful offenses. They both can play incredible defense (although Boston is more consistent). They have stars and superstars on both squads, talented inside and outside play, good coaching.
I mean, what more could you ask for as a fan, even without the longstanding history involving the two teams.
You don’t want to see if Gasol recovers his nutsack when going against KG after Garnett unmmanned him in 2008? YOu don’t want to see if Odom can shine this time, intead of being nullified by Perkins? You’re not curious to see Pierce and Artest, who have bad blood, scare off in an epic battle? You don’t wnat to know if Rondo can continue to shine when Kobe guards him, or if he gets nullified like he did in 2008? Hell, you don’t want to see what happens if hte Lakers decided to put Fisher on Rondo and Kobe/Artest is forced to chase Ray Allen around all series with Allen’s stroke going?
Can the Celtics bench overwhelm the Lakers’? Will Nate Robinson get any tick?
I mean, damn, I want that series BAD. That’s a basketball fans dream. There is no way you can honestly say that it is a surefire victory for either team, and the series should go seven, easily.
That’s not boring to me at all. Far from it.

The revenge angle is for writers and myth makers. Execution, practice, and attention to detail get it done , although revenge might help you put in that extra practice, it’s not going to help with the other two.

Stern loves it though but he loves anything that grow his coffers. He also loves anything that lets him showcase league history that he has yet to umdermine. People will watch but only those in Boston or LA will care. 7 teams have won the championship since 1984. There are 30 teams. More of the same is not what the league needs, it will only encorage disinterest.

Much respect to KG regular Lionheart,,, the media need to stop kissing Kobes Ass loool there too late where were they while they crowned Nash Mvp those two year Kobe was incredible and the real basketball players knew it.

P.s Leave Lebron alone he’s going through that tuff losing period we laker fans shouldn’t forget those round 1 knockouts. Lebron gd luck this summer keep your head up use them haters to get better like Kobe and Mike did.

You could have asked me at the start of the season, and I’d tell you that I’d rather see any other permutation of Finals matchups than Lakers/Celtics.
